SHACK ATTACK – The town wants to tear down a dune shack on Sandy Neck, and will ask for a certificate of appropriateness from the Barnstable Old King’s Highway Historic District Committee Aug. 14. Park Manager Nina Coleman says the mostly-collapsed building has been in that shape at least since she started working on the beach a decade ago. “It was always just a pile of rubble,” she said. “It held that one façade and everything else up in a pile as long as I can remember.” She added that “public safety is our concern, obviously. The property is unfortunately in disarray and needs to be cleaned up.” The foundation’s footprint will be maintained. The building, located on the marsh trail, is registered as an historic structure. The OKH meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the West Barnstable Community Building on Route 149.
